I have an email from them telling me to expect an answer in 24-48 hours. It's now been well over 72. Here's my response that I fully expect to hit the bit bucket:
So 72 hours later there has been no answer as to when (if ever) someone
will be coming by to bury the cable that was scheduled to be buried on Monday... then Tuesday. I presume we need to just wait for
when someone comes over to visit, trips over it, and then I and Time
Warner both get sued for the injuries?
While I appreciate that the other options in town suck worse, and so
dropping the service would be more cutting my own nose than hurting you
in any manner, I have to say that I have a hard time understanding how
running a business poorly is better (for you or your customers) than
running it well.
I hope for, but do not realistically expect, an answer with a time and
date that you might actually honor. Since so far your organization is 0
for 2 on that count, I suppose I really have only myself to blame for
anticipating otherwise.
-----------------------------------
Yes, I know I come across as bitter. But between them and Clear/Clearwire, it just seems like there is no good answer. I know better than to think AT&T or Verizon would do better. My T-Mobile experience has generally been decent, but they don't have a home service. Given that between photo uploads and various downloads and streams I do about 60 gigs a month of traffic, I know I should be happy there is ANY answer for less than $50/month. But the temptation to learn to live without the internet at all is growing daily.
